Reading and Writing Petra, Passive Voice Review

 

When I got home after work, dinner was being cooked (cook) in the kitchen at that time, so I had to wait until it was finished (finish)

 

When I passed by the office, you were being yelled at by the manager.  What happened?

 

When I passed the classroom, the students _________________(give) the exams by the teacher.

B.      Were given

C.      Were being given

*There is no replacement for you in my life.
